Xi Yan didn't say anything.

He coughed awkwardly, then got up to say goodbye to the temple priest as if nothing had happened.

But when he walked out of the priest's temple, he was greeted by a group of heartbroken priests.

They looked at him expectantly: "Your Highness? ”

I didn't ask anymore now, and hinted at him directly.

Xi Yan thought that he had slept comfortably all morning, and now facing these priests who cared about him, he had no reason to feel weak.

"Ahem, I took the priest's orders seriously."

The priest told him to sleep, and he complied, and there was nothing wrong with that.

It's a pity that the elderly priests didn't understand the deep meaning behind this sentence, and they were relieved to see that Xi Yan had finally come to the road.

In the next few days, Xi Yan came to the side hall every day before dawn to report, and every time the temple priest would let him sleep when he was sleepy.

The two have always maintained a state of peace and quietness, and every time Doya comes in, the complex emotions in her eyes will be deeper.

But in Xi Yan's opinion, this clearly wants to talk about him, but he doesn't dare to talk about him.

However, this state did not last long, and three days later, the East Window incident occurred.

Xi Yan was criticized by the priests who had taught him in turn.

They are both grief and anger.

"In that case, why does Your Highness bother to deceive me with good words?!"

"I didn't lie to you"

Xi Yanne sighed, he did listen to the words of the priest of the temple, but with a pair of disappointed eyes from the priests, he immediately stopped talking.

There was decay inside the temple, which was something Xi Yan had always known.

Many priests took advantage of their lofty status and the beliefs of the people to collect wealth for themselves, make friends with powerful people, manipulate government affairs, and disregard people's lives.

But most of those priests were active in the front of the temple, and the previous news about him was also passed on through them, but after it was determined that he was still a mud that could not be supported, those eyeliners were withdrawn a lot.

Those people were different from the priests in front of him who were cultivating carefully, and these priests were really hoping that he would be able to follow the priests of the temple to devote themselves to cultivation.

They are true advocates of the faith.

Xi Yan listened patiently to their teachings.

It didn't take long for this matter to reach the ears of the king by the other princes and princesses, and the king was furious about it and summoned Xi Yan back.

The lord of the country reprimanded Xi Yan all morning, if he wasn't afraid that the priest of the temple would ask, Xi Yan might have to go back with an injury.

When he walked out of the study, he was faced with a group of brothers and sisters who had come to see the show and fell into the well.

"Tut, it seems that Xi Yan was scolded very badly."

"My father was very angry, and he sealed Xi Yan's prince's mansion."

"Hahaha, it's really a shame for the royal family."

"I don't know how this waste temple priest could have chosen him."

Xi Yan ignored the words of the people in front of him, and looked directly at the person who said the last sentence, his brother, who was ranked fifth.

"Brother Wang's words, could it be that he is questioning the priest?"

When the words fell, the fifth prince's face changed, and his expression was visibly panicked: "Xi Yan, don't talk nonsense!" Your Highness has never thought like this! ”

Xi Yan snorted, and his eyes swept over the group of people who came to see his joke: "Since you have such ideas, I will report it to the priest." ”

This sentence shocked those who still wanted to ridicule him again.

A group of people looked frightened and could only watch Xi Yan leave.

How could they have forgotten that even if Xi Yan was reprimanded by the king in a rage today, he was still the person chosen by the temple priest, and before the temple priest spoke, he was still her protégé.

After Xi Yan was held accountable to go back, he continued to appear in the side hall of the priest's temple like a nobody on the second day.

The temple priest still didn't say anything, and the two of them continued to do their own thing.

Xi Yan: "."

And so it went on for a few more days.

The priests who cared about him often hid behind a rockery outside the side hall to observe the situation inside, and when they saw that they were doing nothing like this, they couldn't help but find Xi Yan.

Seeing the distressed faces of several priests, the corners of Xi Yan's mouth moved.

It's not that he doesn't want to learn, it's that the temple priest only said a word to him and ignored him, so how can he learn?

But—

Facing a group of elderly priests, Xi Yan finally found his conscience: "I, I'll try."

When he came to report to the side hall next time, Xi Yan didn't sleep again, but lay on the bookcase, secretly looking at the girl with calm eyebrows behind the bookcase.

If looks are deceiving, then the temple priests are definitely the best of the best.

He reacted in hindsight, the temple priest must have dug a big hole for him, right?

But he couldn't question her, because from the beginning to the end, she only said that sentence, and let him sleep whenever he wanted.

Think.

- It was his choice.

At that moment, Xi Yan seemed to understand something, the first lesson given to him by the priest of the temple was choice.

The priest of the temple, who was studying the ancient books, slowly raised his head and looked at Xi Yan who was in a daze on the opposite side.

"Got it?"

The majestic and peaceful voice recalled Xi Yan's thoughts.

He gathered his emotions and nodded with a complicated expression.

The temple priest threw out another multiple-choice question: "Would you like to learn from me?" ”

"Yes."

This time, Xi Yan is really willing.

As a result, the priests who were secretly observing the situation outside left with a relieved face when they saw the situation in the side hall change.

Because of his 'criminal record', even if he heard that Xi Yan had finally started to study with the priests of the temple, it didn't cause much turmoil in the future.

After all, in their opinion, this is completely the consequence of Xi Yan's helplessness, and it has not changed his identity as a waste.

The last batch of eyeliner withdrew, and Xi Yan took his gaze back from the window.

The priest of the temple, who was rummaging through the ancient books on the display shelves, glanced back at him: "It took a month to act on this play, and the ending is as you wish." ”

"Ahem"

Xi Yan turned his head, he was not surprised that the bureau he had done could be seen by the priest of the temple: "As you wish, this priest temple is quiet and quiet, and it is the most suitable for me." ”

This is the territory of the priest of the temple, he hides here, it can indeed relieve a lot of pressure, after figuring it out, Xi Yan is not so resistant to coming here to report before dawn every day.

"So, let you give up the fence and the Washe, would you like?"

"Do you have to give it up?"

Xi Yan's face turned pale, and his face showed real regret.

The priest of the temple chuckled, took the ancient book scroll in his hand and handed it to him: "Priest temple, avoid alcohol." ”

"Of course, of course."

Xi Yan hurriedly responded and took the scroll by the way.

Then he spread it out and saw the obscure and mysterious ancient characters on it, and he only looked at it a few times, and he felt dizzy.
